Welcome to my family blog. I have been married to Mike for over half of my life. I love my Savior, Jesus. I am a stay-at-home, homeschooling mom to six terrific, interesting children. My 3 oldest were born to me in my younger years, while my 3 youngest were given to me by God in my older years. I am very blessed. ~Cheri

Most moms (and dads) cannot go to sleep without all their children home safely. I am one of them. I have just gotten to a place where I can go to sleep if Jordan is still not home. But, I'm not there with Seth yet. And there is a reason for that. It is because trouble and suspicion follow him. So, last night, I went to bed very early because of a headache. I texted Seth and told him that I was going to bed, but be home early so I could actually sleep and not lie in bed waiting on him. At 10:30, Seth called Mike.

Yes, that is the front of Seth's Toyota Tacoma truck, totaled. He was 5 miles from home when a drunk driver crossed his path, and Seth hit him head-on. Seth was just skinned up; the other driver taken to the hospital, where he was/is treated for head wounds. I am so thankful my son is safe. As chaotic as things are today, I'm happy we aren't doing anything differently.

(Jordan just called. Her car stopped working on her. We have only one working vehicle at the moment with 4 adult drivers. Two of them work outside of the home, and one of them is heading out of town for work next week. ::sigh::)

I've been away from the internet for a while and am just now catching up on the blogs I follow.

My heart jumped out of my chest when I saw this photo of Seth's truck. Praising God that he is okay.

My father was killed by a drunk driver, who ran a red light and struck him on the driver side. He was killed instantly. There's nothing that gets more under my skin than drunk drivers. Reckless and selfish.
